LibriVox recording of The Golden Snare, by Oliver Curwood: Read by Roger Melin

With but two years of service in the RNMP Philip Raine finds himself somewhat unwillingly on the trail of Bram Johnson, wanted for murder and a wild, untamed and savage man who commands a pack of wolves as his brethren.
But most peculiar of all is the snare which Bram had had in his posession and had somehow lost. It was a golden snare intricately woven out of the finest, most delicate flaxen hair of a woman. But what could possibly be the relationship between this half-human murderer and a woman who could have borne a crown of such beauty and elegance? The mystery of Bram Johnson and his wolves and the golden snare becomes one which Raine feels compelled to unravel even as he pursues the wild man and his pack among his own territory of the Canadian barren lands.

Subject: Good story
The summary covers the plot.

For some reason, I found the hero of this story a bit irritating, as he ignored his intuition and plowed ahead in dangerous situations. But overall the story is good, and ends well. The main theme is the romance between Phillip and Celeste, but the secondary theme of the mystery of the wild man is good and has some good twists at the end.

Roger is an excellent reader, and he does his usual fine job. Recording quality is likewise excellent.
